Ashlee Suttle
Hey everyone. My name is Ashlee Suttle and I apparently have no idea how to use a blog. When I thought I had posted to it, I found later that my post did not exist. So, here I am again trying to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a freshman here at UNC and I live in Granville Towers. I am in the sorority Pi Beta Phi and have a great suite of girls that I live with. I'm majoring in Political Science and Journalism but plan to go to Law School after I graduate. I grew up in Lexington, North Carolina but moved to Durham (kind of) in 2006 to attend the North Carolina School of Science and Math. I love to run and drink coffee. I have worked at Starbucks for two years. I love to travel and plan to spend the majority of my life traveling around the world. Thus far, I've only been to Switzerland and Italy and even that trip was only for a short time period of two weeks. My second trip abroad is planned for this summer through the UNC Summer Abroad Program in Greece. I am taking this class because I absolutely love to read. I've considered minoring in English or just anything within the humanities realm so I figured that taking a class like this one could not hurt at all and that I may even enjoy it. So far, the class seems great!

Snow day!
This may be a complete abuse of the blog... BUT:
Is there any chance that class will be canceled tomorrow due to inclement (read: totally awesome) weather? I just wanted to check in since MAA's is my first class of the day (and probably most other people's) and having class canceled would majorly impact how my day starts (at least an hour longer in bed/an hour longer in the snow).
In other news, i hope everyone had a great long weekend and that everyone will have a chance to catch the inauguration/ play in the snow/ stays warm!

Julia Marie Hartsell & Emma Jane Refvem
We are Emma Refvem and Julia Hartsell. We are roommates who live at 121 North Street. We decided to do our blog post together since we live together and have class together, and you will see us walk to and from class together. Julia will be writing Emma's info and vice versa.
Emma Jane Refvem spent 7 years being raised in Vacaville, CA. Finally, her parents wised up and moved the Refvem family to the sweet, beautiful land of the South. They moved to Mt. Airy, NC, which is also known as Mayberry, Andy Griffith's hometown. She is the third and most favored child of 5. Emma is a senior Environmental Studies major and Geology minor. She once made 100 on her geology lab test and showed up all those geology majors trying to study rocks. Emma is a Young Life leader, so she spends most of her time hanging out with some awesome, crazy high school girls that go to Cedar Ridge High School in Hillsborough, NC, three of which are sitting here with us telling us a crazy story about getting pulled on Airport Road. Emma aspires to be a high school Science teacher and is applying to do the MAT grad program here at UNC. She lives in a house with 8 other girls, including me!, and lives in the basement of our house. She serves the role of handyman at our house because she always fixes everything and replaces all the lightbulbs. Any of y'all are welcome to come on over and sit a spell if you like. Emma is a vegetarian and recently found the best recipe for Sweet Potato Black Bean quesadillas, which is our new favorite. Emma loves to watch the Office and owns many of the seasons. She drives a Prius so her gas mileage is AWESOME, but it also volunteers her to drive on all of our roadtrips, one being a tour of Civil War battlefield sites last fallbreak ( a birthday surprise for me! how sweet are my friends!) Emma is slightly granola, takes naps like a champ, enjoys indie movies and music but can also kick back and appreciate popular culture, she is a superorganizer, loves to wear sweatpants, I can talk to her through my floor (my room is above her, the floor is her ceiling), has a hilarious alter ego named Miss Amurkuh (ask her about it), and once had a song written about her.
Julia Marie Hartsell is a 22-year-old native of Rowan County, NC. Staying true to her roots, Julia revels in all thing southern. She wrote the previous paragraphs on a desk next to a miniature bust of Robert E. Lee. Every day, Julia Marie wakes up and thanks God to be an American!!! She came to Carolina with grand ambitions of being a doctor, and proceeded to take every Biology class known to man. However, in 2007, after contracting the only case of West Nile Virus in North Carolina, and with plenty of hospital time to think, she saw the light and switched her major to American Studies. Julia spends all of her time loving and hanging out with girls at Orange High School as a Young Life leader. She plans on going on full-time Young Life staff after graduation. She was born for this! Hanging out in rural Orange County fits her perfectly! Don't be surprised to see her in cowboy boots talking about how amazing this country really is. (seriously, she's opened my eyes). She is a balla by nature, with some mad ball-handling skills on the court. Don't be fooled! Despite this seemingly tough exterior, Julia is a sucker for "The Bachelor," but don't ask her about the current bachelor, Jason. He is not up to par. She is taking this class as an elective in her Senior year because they changed the underload policies. She looks forward to telling you exactly how she feels about these American authors.
So, in conclusion, sufistucadid ladys saing oosh osh.

Salutations.
It goes without saying that this is incredibly late, and on that note I'm very sorry...
My name is Linnie Greene and I'm an (unsure) philosophy and french double major. I'm still open to the possibility of replacing french with english or american studies... Anyway, I'm taking this course because I love reading and it seemed like a pretty practical way to integrate what I enjoy doing with a subject I might want to further pursue. My favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Kerouac, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and I'm really fascinated with both the Beats and the Lost Generation. I write for The Daily Tarheel where I recently switched to the Diversions desk to do music reviews. I'm a humanities person (math freaks me out, but props if that's your thing) and almost anything artistic or cultural will interest me. I love going to shows when I feel like going out or reading or knitting when I feel more inclined to chill. I'm from Durham-- don't worry, no allegiance to Duke. And Durham isn't that scary, to anyone who's heard otherwise. It's actually a pretty cool place.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the readings. Poe is a good start, if you ask me.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Poe
It's Poe's 200th birthday today! Here are a few links if you want to see how people are celebrating:
